SB102 Summary

• Establishes the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact allowing licensed psychologists to practice telepsychology and conduct temporary in-person services (up to 30 days per calendar year) across compact member states without obtaining separate licenses in each state.

• Creates the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact Commission with representatives from each member state to develop rules, maintain a coordinated licensure database, investigate complaints, and enforce compact provisions.

• Sets eligibility requirements for psychologists to practice under the compact, including holding a graduate psychology degree from an accredited institution, maintaining an active license in a home state, possessing an E.Passport or Interjurisdictional Practice Certificate (IPC), and having no adverse disciplinary history.

• Establishes mechanisms for adverse actions and discipline, allowing home states and receiving/distant states to take action against psychologists' authority to practice while maintaining a shared coordinated database of licensure and disciplinary information.

• Effective upon enactment when seven states have adopted the compact; allows states to withdraw with six months' notice and provides procedures for dispute resolution and enforcement among compact members.
